This chapter has two main aims: one is to clarify what EFL students can and should learn from authentic English literary fiction. For this purpose I shall consider specifically the extent to which English literature and language studies can collaborate. My second aim is to examine whether the teaching of literature should be incorporated into foreign language education: should students learn literature exclusively through instruction in their native language, or could reading and studying literature in English facilitate greater depth in learning? To answer these questions, data has been collected from students enrolled in an English literature course at a Japanese university. This chapter will present the methodology behind the course and show an analysis of student data; furthermore, the pedagogical implications of English language and English literature education working in concert, both in classrooms in Japan and around the world, will be considered. |
